Well I'm sorry you are sad about it but the fact is that there IS NO strong reward for capping the vision tetra. Even if you cap the center goal you only get 9 points. Any simple penalty will kill 10 pts. Maybe thats why soi many are so hot to get the TIKI I am offering.
Therefore any person who analyzes the game will see that you can pretty much offset capping the vision tetra by being a rapid capper. So the time spent developing an autonomous mode of complexity might be better spent developing something else.
Now everybody has all year to play games with the camera and develop all the modes they want outside the six week build period. I am sure if folks want to learn camera programming and if FIRST doesn't change it again, we will see a Kodak smorgasbord next year.
